Are you being cheated out of overtime compensation? Is your employer making you work overtime hours but not paying you for your time? If so, you could be the victim of an overtime violation. Employers frequently violate the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FSLA") and state wage/hour laws by making their employees put in extra hours at work without compensation. If you are a victim of this practice, you need to know that you are probably entitled by law to compensation for hours worked over 40 per week.

Employees that are paid a salary (instead of an hourly wage) and are classified "executive," "administrative," or "professional" are considered exempt, and are not eligible for overtime. However, many employers misclassify their employees as "exempt" from overtime illegally (i.e. by classifying an employee as an "executive," or an "administrator" when in fact, they are not).

If you think you have been cheated out of your due overtime compensation, your rights may have been violated. Your employer may have broken the law. If this is the case, you need to know your legal rights from an experienced Lawyer. The Ottinger Firm has experience in helping people when their rights have been violated. Let us help you.
